I’m a farmer in San Diego County. In fallbrook/ temecula, there’s a truck weigh station that’s full of ICE operatives near me. Today, they blocked off the entrance to the only road that leads to a bunch of farms, including mine. I personally have a family farm, but I know my neighbors and their employees, and they’re hard-working everyday people regardless of their immigration status.

To make a long story short, how do I legally fuck with ICE while they do a raid?

Edit: the only thing I can think of is recording and doing a verbal protest. I could try to share the footage with the local news. Given the current political climate, I’m not sure if they’d care. I don’t want to see the people I’ve existed next to dissappear.

If you know someone who works at Moon Farm Nurseries, fucking tell them RIGHT NOW to lay low. They’re compromised.

Edit 2: they took everyone. The fields up and down our road are empty. I couldn’t even get a picture because I had to drive past like nothing was happening. Fuck.

Edit 3: a couple of truckers pulled up with double wides and blocked the road. I can’t tell whoes side their on. Whish me luck.

Edit 4: I think mite have made a checkpoint for me. I think I’ll be fine, but I’m not sure. Live update.

Edit 5: I’m fine, one of the people in the double wide got taken too. Fuck this day. I hope everyone is doing okay.

    Film everything for a start. There are apps that automatically upload as you film so they can’t just grab your phone and delete it.

        Depends on your setup and tech skill. Syncthing is my goto recommendation.

          Can that synchronize as you film? Will your phone expose the temporary file to syncthing before the recording is over? Does it block anyone from deleting the file from the phone?

            Good point, no it won’t. You’re probably better off with a live-stream and remote recording for that. I wouldn’t trust a commercial app run on a public cloud service to protect your videos.
